Cats make a rumbling noise in their throats called purring. This sound is like a tiny engine running inside them. Scientists think this vibration helps fix small hurts in their bones and muscles. It also tells other cats that the cat is happy or feeling better. Even kittens start purring when they are babies to let their mom know they are okay. > Purring is nature's way of giving yourself a gentle hug.
Examples
- An old cat sleeps with its head on your lap, rumbling like a small motor.
